Tyler O'Neill's bloop single lifts Boston Red Sox past Chicago Cubs 5-4

BOSTON (AP) --- Tyler O'Neill hit a game-ending bloop single, and the Boston
Red Sox topped the Chicago Cubs 5-4 on Sunday night.
Jarren Duran hit a two-run triple and Connor Wong drove in two runs with a pair
of two-out singles, helping Boston to the win in the rubber game of weekend
set. The Red Sox beat the Cubs 17-0 on Saturday.
Chicago trailed 4-1 before Mike Tauchman hit a tying three-run homer against
Chris Martin in the eighth inning. Matt Mervis hit an RBI single in the seventh
for the Cubs' first run of the game.
For the second straight day, a large gathering of Cubs fans that made the trip
to Fenway Park were unable to wave their "W" flags, a staple after wins at
Wrigley Field.
Duran led off the ninth with a walk against Mark Leiter Jr. (0-1). He raced to
third on Rafael Devers' single.
O'Neill then hit a shallow fly toward left field. Shortstop Dansby Swanson
tried to make sliding catch, but it went off his glove and landed in the
outfield grass.
